What do you see as the top three issues in this race?

Professionalism, diplomacy and tact of board members - While we may not always agree on every item that is presented to the board, as professionals and role models, we should be able to express our disagreement in a way that is exemplary to our children.

Working as a unified body toward a vision of greatness for the school district -- When elected to the board, I vow to commit myself to working towards developing a vision and promoting our children into their futures. We must get back to the business of taking care of our children.

Identifying innovative ideas to increase the unreserved fund balance above 3% - I am not waiting until I am elected in order to begin doing this. When I realized there was a problem, I immediately began seeking possible solutions and I found a few.
